Hey Dean, take a look at your sidewalk you installed last Wednesday...

 I think it looks pretty good.

I'm anxious to see how Dean puts on the finishing touches.

 Another view...

 Norm Zielke also gave me two new 12v lamps.

I installed them tonight and here's what it looks like.

No more dome lights with extension chords running from the ceiling fixtures.

You may need to go back into the blog to see a "before" picture.

I also installed the power strip off the new outlet.

Note the bright light at the east end of Proviso Yard.

That's the four search tower light I bought at the last train show for $4.

It is hooked up to a power pack below the table which is powered by the new outlet I installed on Sunday.

Today is an alternate TRAIN DAY planned especially with Rob Fair in mind.

Also this Wednesday is cancelled due to a previous engagement.

So here's what we did tonight:

 Josh Jones getting ready to hook up the coach cars for the steam excursion.
You'll see this in a video later tonight.

 Rob Fair finishing soldering the feeder wires to the rails at California Yard.

Jordan Osborn at the controls running a "junk" train.
That's a train made up of cars that need more inspection time.

She'll be coming around the mountain when she comes...
and here she comes...
Duration: .20s

Rob Fair takes a break from soldering to watch the "junk" freight go by.
Josh Jones (Conductor at trackside) and Jordan Osborn (Engineer at the controls) doing their jobs.
